Abstract

This chapter presents several empirical comprehensive models that were developed in order to explain complex luminescence mechanisms and phenomena in quartz. We show detailed R codes for the Baiiley2001 and the Pagonis2008 quartz models, by using the R programs KMS developed by Peng and Pagonis, and also using the R package RlumModel by Friedrich et al. We show how to simulate the history of natural quartz samples, and how to modify the models by changing one or more of the original model parameters. R codes are provided for studying the phenomena of thermal quenching, for simulating the dose response of TL and OSL signals and also for the superlinear dose response in quartz. We show how to simulate the important phenomena of phototransfer, predose effect and thermal transfer of holes, pulse annealing, and the SAR protocol in quartz. This chapter concludes with several examples from the extensive R package RLumModel.
